Commands used with AO applications (CMD)

To receive responses to these commands, use the GCMD call.

Format of commands
The syntax and synonyms for commands are the same whether the command is entered using a CMD call or from a terminal. All messages returned in response to a CMD call or a command entered from the terminal are the same.
Responses to commands
The execution of a command with a CMD call might result in a response that comprises one or more segments. The response is similar to that received by a terminal operator upon entering the same command. The maximum size response returned by IMS to the AO application is 132 bytes (including the 4-byte LLZZ field).
Synchronization point processing
When IMS is restarted or resets to an earlier checkpoint, it is possible that a previously-issued command will be rescheduled for execution.
Format identifiers for the /DISPLAY command
When a /DISPLAY command is issued from a CSLOMCMD or CSLOMI call, a command response segment is always produced. If OPTION=AOPOUTPUT is specified on the CSLOMCMD or CSLOMI call, the output from the /DISPLAY command also includes a format identifier (FID) on each output segment.
